A PLUNGE TO DEATH.
TIIJE MORNING PASSENGER TRAIN
GOES INTO A WASHOUT UELOW
RIDGETVAV.
Kujjineer W. J. Germany and His Fireman
Killed?Kxpresit Messenger Hohuci
Serious]r Injured.
The eighty-four mile post, a point j
oji the C. C. Sc A. Railroad just two
miles below Ridgewav was the scene
early Friday morning of tiie most
horrible accident which lias occurred
on this road in many years. The
early morning combination freight
and passenger train was derailed and
Engineer AV. J. Germany and Fireman
Henry were both killed, while express
messenger Holmes was so seriously
injured that it is feared he cannot
recover. The details were very difficult
to obtain, but we give !he following
account as it was heard here. It
was impossible for us t* get a man to
the scene of the accident, as the southbound
train had left before the news
reached us.
Ti e ill-fated train passed YVinnsboro
about thirty u.inutes late and the
i-ui.. ,,i_
engineer vrm pruuuuiy umi.'^ um utmost
to make up tl.e lose. At the
eighty-four mile p?st, two miles below
Itidgeway, the track bad been undermined
by the heavy flow of water and
into this break the engine went at
full speed carrying with it the engineer
and fireman, neither of whom had
time to do aurthiug to save himself.
The engine turned over and boriod
beneath \t? weight both of tl.e occupants
of tl.e cab, and from the positions
of their bodies when found it is safe
to pay their death /vas in.Untaneous.
Several of the freight car* immediately
behind the engine were thrown lr?iri
the track. It is thought that the wonderful
e^cipe of the passengers is due
entirely to t lie fact that these cars being
between the locomotiYe and the
pis^onyer coaches received the full
force of the sd.ock. Express Messenger
ii?)lu)tt5 douhtie.-h received his injuries
by being thrown violently against the
oide of his car or being crushed by
some of his Lczvy freight.
Washouti on this road are very rare
and none ol the train officials suspected
attxihiigof the kind or apprehended
a wreck from (hat cause. The
ritrih-bound truin passed safely, but at
that time the water, which was rushing
along the bank like a torrent, had
not done its work.
The bodies of thu victims could not
l>e gotten from beneath the wreck for
several hour*.
No trains pa>?t-d the washout Fr;la^,
and all passengers, mai1, express,
^ - f >
etc., naa to ue uansierrtu.
Blame cannot, of comae, be attached
:o the railroad company, as it was one
?f those unfoitnnate accidents which
*re baud to occur.
Jack Germany, who met death at
his post of duty, was perhaps the most
popular and widely known engineer
sa this division, and the railroad com1
1 ..
pai;y nas sunercu a vcrj socj c
[Ie was a member of the 12th Regiment,
and throughout the war did
rallant service with that command.
LATER.
Passengers on the north-bound train,
which did not arrive here until nearly
eight o'clock Friday evening, say
that the wreck is a alu.ost fearful
looking sight. The washout is fifty
feet or more wide. The fireman's
t>odv was badly mangled. Germany
was found seated in his place. His
body gava eridcnce of scalding.
Llolmes is not so badly injured as was
first thought.
